ling the refuse Stag formed by the
basic process of making steel, better
known n the Thomas Gilchrist process.
Ores high in phorphorous can be di-
rerl,y trcnted by this process, aud as
its object il 70 eliminate the phosphor-
Gus, that ingredient must DC taken up
and retained by the Stag. Hence a
very good p%hosboric lime results, o
tanning ab,ut sixteen pei cent .. phos-
phoric acid, fifty pr ceut of lime,
twelve per cent. Of iron and seen per

For some days during the last and
present week, the atmosphere has
been filed with smoke from burning
forests in every direction, At first it
was thought to be the usual Indian
summer haze, but its effect on the eyes,
and tho real smoke smell, soon deter
mined It's origin. 1t has been u re-
markable drouth year. and Whenever
fire attacks vegetation, it spread with
unusual rapidity, and the winds have
swept the smoke over all portions o
the South. Our smoky days arc nov
accounted tor, and will probably con
tinuc until we have rain.
